I don’t quite understand how this is supposed to work.
AFAIK there is technically no ‘veto’ that you can just deny individual members. Certain policy decisions require unanimity.
Seems like they’d need to redraw the contracts and change how voting works.
Yeah, it’s like this shop near me that does vegan sausage rolls but sausage rolls have meat in them. Seems like they’d need to rewrite the recipe and change how it’s made.
On principle, not necessarily.
The article just makes it sound like it would just be a bilateral thing and the remaining member states just accept or veto the accession. It’s likely a more complex and involved process than it’s made out to be.
Also if they actually do change how voting works, they might as well push for more qualified majority instead of unanimity.

Is there a problem with that?
